Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured maintenance services for seven Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapour machines used for environmental decontamination. The requirement covers specialist servicing and maintenance of Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapour equipment, classified as decontamination equipment (CPV 42924720). Delivery is centred on the Trust’s site on Hucknall Road, Nottingham, NG5 1PB, within the East Midlands. This is a healthcare equipment maintenance requirement rather than a supply of new machines or general facilities management. The buyer is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, and the selected service provider is Ecolab Limited. Businesses specialising in decontamination technology, hydrogen peroxide vapour systems or maintenance of comparable specialist healthcare equipment would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ecolab Limited on 14 December 2023. It used a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain Environmental Decontamination framework, reference 205, described as a call-off from a framework agreement and recorded under the selective method. The tender submission deadline was 31 October 2024 at 12 noon. The awarded value is £168,280, and the contract runs from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2028. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available process information records a single requirement for the equipment maintenance service rather than separate lots.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Trust’s demand for specialist maintenance of Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapour equipment. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical capability in servicing and maintaining this type of decontamination system, together with the operational capacity to support seven machines in a hospital environment. Access to, or an established position on, the relevant NHS Supply Chain environmental decontamination framework would be important, since this requirement was placed through a framework call-off by direct award. Suppliers should therefore assess their framework route, specialist engineering resources, healthcare operating procedures and ability to provide reliable planned maintenance and responsive support for equipment used in environmental decontamination.
